Get a Belkin Wireless G router, which has 4 wired ports too (you can get it from pcworld etc) Get some ethernet cables (Cat5) and hey presto!

You will need a wireless 4 port router to connect up your equipment.

Cable modem connects into router and so will your main computer and xbox console.

The rest will use the wireless connection (make sure you turn encryption on once its working)

Beaten to the post

Yeah. Most routers come with an "easy installation setup" so you shouldn't need to worry there.
